The Beijing conference is where things are going to happen. We need to focus on human health and containment. If we don't focus on avian flu it's going to ruin these countries, materially and economically, and move to Europe and Africa. |
The best auction will be the long bond. We expect great demand from overseas accounts in the long bond specifically, as pension rules in Europe are much more strict than current rules in the U.S. and these rules favor bonds over stocks. |
The best way to say it, there's no concern here with the ratings, ... We're patient, and it's the toughest time for anything to get ratings. It makes sense for us to carry the WNBA. Our relationship with the NBA is very important to us. |
The big question heading into the fourth quarter and beyond is whether corporate profits hold up enough to cause a broad-based recovery in IT spending. IT spending is probably at a bottom but the trajectory of the recovery is debatable. |
The bigger story here is the return to historical norm of the sales number. The 7 percent internal growth number will help build a higher level of confidence that the company's investment efforts in hiring sales personnel is paying off. |
The biggest impression I got was just the dramatic difference in his own comfort level as opposed to the last three, four years. He seems to be very comfortable, very positive. His life is in good order. His basketball is in good order. |
The biggest mistake in my life was hiring Eaton as chairman without checking him out first, ... I didn't know him and hired the wrong guy, an error of judgment. When you make a bad people choice it hurts a lot of people for a long time. |

The biggest thing I'm interested in to see is if within the time we've had, if we can play together as a team. There's some excellent individual skill out here. Whether we can put it together as a team or not, that's what I'll find out. |
The biggest thing we can offer in the new band is broadband [data] speeds. You can't even get close to that today. Since the FCC has decided to move us out, we made the decision that it made a lot of sense to pursue a broadband venture. |
The bill will shortchange the general fund by about $19 million per year. Given the condition of our state budget, there is only so much you can cut. Pretty soon you have cut through the fat, and then you are into the meat and the bone. |
The bottom line is that I wanted to come back and play in the Premier League again and wake up on a Saturday morning and really fancy getting out there and playing in front of this fantastic support, scoring goals and enjoying football. |
The bottom line is we lost another hockey game. We've got to find a way to stop that slide. I think it's frustrating anytime you lose. Right now maybe it's not even as important how we're losing or how we win. It's finding a way to win. |
The boys game is played with 10 players on a side — nine players in the field and a goalie. Much of our offense is like basketball. We run give-and-goes, pick-and-rolls and there's an element of hockey in that we play behind the goal. |
The boys have been doing great. We have been able to score really well in any meet we have competed in. If I can keep them all healthy and push them to the end of the season, we are looking to enter the entire team in State competition. |
